Delicious Ramadan Desserts That Will Add Taste to Your Tables
The month of Ramadan heralds long-awaited traditions, peaceful moments, and solidarity, as well as appetizing and delicious tables. Ramadan is quite generous when it comes to desserts, bringing special tastes of this month such as pita and dates to the tables during the awe-filled days. Let’s take a closer look at Ramadan desserts that will make your tables much more colorful.
A Timeless Friend: Güllaç Dessert
When Ramadan is mentioned, perhaps one of the first desserts that comes to mind is Güllaç. Güllaç, which is prepared in a very easy and practical way, is especially suitable for the taste of those who love milk pudding. This unique flavor has peanuts or walnuts in the middle. Rose water adds a unique flavor to the dessert. It is served with fruits such as cherries, strawberries, and pomegranates, depending on the season and taste. Thus, it manages to appeal to the eye as well as the palate.
From the Ottomans to the Present: Keşkül-ü Fukara Dessert
During the Ottoman Period, dervishes used to beg in order to educate themselves and destroy their arrogance. The bowls that dervishes used to beg were called keşkül. The money the dervishes collected by begging was donated to almshouses and this money was made into a keşkül and distributed to the poor. The name of this delicious Ramadan dessert comes from this experience.
Let’s talk about the ingredients of the Keşkül-ü Fukara dessert. This scrumptious dessert, which is created by decorating the pudding with almonds, becomes even more scrumptious with hazelnuts and pistachios if desired. Although the dessert is extremely light, it leaves an impression on the palate that cannot be easily forgotten.
An Unforgettable Delicious Classic: Baked Rice Pudding
Baked rice pudding is a light and easy-on-the-stomach dessert, so it is frequently seen on Ramadan tables. Another reason why rice pudding is remembered is its rich and unique taste. This classic dessert made with rice and milk is baked so the top of it gets crispy. Thus, it tastes better this way. Baked rice pudding served with flavors such as pistachios, hazelnuts and walnuts also achieves a visual richness. This Ramadan dessert, which is effortless to make, manages to appeal to almost every taste.
A Dessert That You Can’t Give Up On: Muhallebi Kadayıf
We are all familiar with pudding. This dessert, which is as delicious as it is light, is enriched with kadayıf, resulting in Muhallebi Kadayıf. This flavor is perfect for those who would like to enrich their milk pudding list during Ramadan! Kadayıf, which covers the delicious pudding and adds crispness to it, adds another dimension to the dessert. Muhallebi Kadayıf, which is usually served alone or garnished with pistachios, can also be decorated with fruits such as strawberries and bananas.
Tastes as Good as it Sounds: Honey Finger Dessert
One of the dessert types that are always on the Ramadan tables is sherbet desserts. Honey finger dessert, which attracts people with its appearance as well as its taste, is a great alternative for those who love sherbet desserts. This wonderful flavor, inherited from the Ottoman Empire to the present day, emerges with the harmonious combination of vanilla, semolina, and almonds. It can also be prepared by choosing walnuts instead of almonds, depending on taste. If you’ve never tried it before, make sure to make a room on your table for honey finger dessert this Ramadan.
Taste Just Like Ekmek Kadayıfı: Muhallebili Borcam Dessert
Muhallebili Borcam Dessert resembles Ekmek Kadayıfı not only with its appearance but also with its delicious taste. The bottom layer of this delicious dessert consists of cake and the top layer consists of pudding. If you wish, you can add caramel to the syrup and make the dessert more delicious. You can decorate the dessert with flavors such as coconut, pistachios, and strawberries, depending on your preference, to increase both its taste and visual richness.
